Brother P-Touch PT-D600 PC-Connectable Label Maker with Color Display, Black - BRTPTD600

Loved my PT-D600. It made making custom labels or edited labels from templates easy. However, when I moved to Apple Mac and wanted to move my PT-D600 from the PC to the Mac, I was very disappointed. It's a great label printer but the macOS software doesn't even compare.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is awesome!!. Easy to use, wide variety and sizes of tapes, The software for the computer is the best added feature. I owned several label makers and this one beats them all hands down!!!!!!

Purchased unit, on initial power up video was horizontally striped. Tried using unit however stripping created eye discomfort. Features very similar to PT2700 that is 15 years older, expected improvements in interface and functionality, little discernable differences

The PTD600 removed the friction I had with creating labels. My previous label makers had one font and worst of all would take me too long to peel back a corner to get the label put on the item. The split back makes it quick and easy to use these durable labels. The PTD600 gives me the flexibility to create nice looking labels and in the size that I need. I now have all my cords going to surge strips labeled so I know what to unplug rather than tracing the cords every time. The builtin cabling template made these easy by printing twice with a space in the middle so that the label can wrap around the cable and be visible from both sides. I find I use it mostly as a standalone labeler, but appreciate the ability to connect to my computer to do something creative. The QWERTY keyboard makes type labels much easier than the old label makers.

My label-maker is an essential part of my busy life, with 2 businesses and trying to keep everything organized. I use it for everything from file labels to cabinet labels, to warnings about what appliances will blow fuses if turned on at the same time.
